Rent & eviction protection

Is 1836-1838 Stockton St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1910
2 or more units

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1910
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building at 1836-1838 Stockton Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Theresa Dentoni, has a documented history of maintenance and infrastructure upgrades spanning several decades since its construction in 1910. The most recent significant improvement was completed in February 2021, involving the replacement of two street-visible windows with retrofit wood installations at a cost of $5,338. Previous renovations include a substantial 1997 project that updated the kitchen and bathrooms, added non-bearing walls and skylights, and replaced windows, along with a reroofing project completed in 1997, while an earlier attempt to install vinyl siding in 1991 expired without completion.

The property experienced notable incidents in mid-2024, with multiple reports of liquid spills and debris on the street, including hazardous waste and oil paint, particularly concentrated between July 24-26, 2024. There were also parking enforcement issues in the vicinity, with several calls regarding illegal parking and an Uber driver blocking a driveway in January 2024, which resulted in a citation. While there were two fire-related incidents recorded, neither resulted in injuries or significant damage, with one being a confined fuel burner/boiler malfunction and the other showing no incident upon arrival. A Verizon Wireless small cell installation was approved for the property in 2018 as part of the DPW Referral process.

Risk rating

How 1836-1838 Stockton St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
89thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 75 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building permits (past 7 years)

Number of permits pulled at this address — construction or renovation activity over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
